We had a group of 6 adults and we all loved this house! The location was perfect with both sunrise and sunset views. It is close to town, but in a quiet, gated neighborhood right on the ocean. We spent a lot of time lounging on the covered back porch and in the pool. It was heavenly to have three full bathrooms! While we were there, some people walked by, said their grandfather owned the house in the 1980’s, and that it was the only home there at that time. The house itself is really cute inside and out. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a very comfortable and peaceful place to stay near Kona.

We booked this property as we wanted a home that we could relax at and enjoy the ocean. The only positive thing about this property is the location and the ocean view. We flew in late evening time. We arrived to the gate desk around 6pm. They did not have our names on the list to allow entry. I had to call the number from the check in informational email. Shortly afterwards, I received an email with the QR code to allow entry. The property pictures on VRBO are very misleading and misrepresent what the property truly looks like. The pictures are obviously several years old and do not show what the property currently looks like. When we arrived, the pool was opaque and green. There was animal feces on the bench seat in the kitchen. There were several lizards in the bedrooms from a large hole in the screen over the window. While I understand that this is a tropical island, I have stayed on Hawai'i numerous times previously and never encountered a home in this condition. There is water damage on the lower part of the wooden walls in the living room. Paint is peeling all over on the inside of the home. The side entry door doesn't close completely, leaving a large gap in the door frame. Also the price was more than twice the regular rate as we were there the week before the ironman race. We tried to contact the property manager immediately with no response. Ultimately, we checked into a local hotel room and spent the week there.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed for a week at this lovely rental for the 3rd year and already have another stay planned. The location is perfect for my family of 4 (kids are 4 and 7 years old) and a set of grandparents. Having the beach as a backyard is truly magical. The kids switched from pool to beach, which is a few minutes walk along the beautiful coast. We grilled dinner and ate on the patio every night and watched the rainbows and sunset. I appreciated the real time communication via text with the property management who were more than helpful, we travel often and I wish every experience went as smoothly. This property sits within a gated community which made us feel very safe. The security staff was very friendly but you could tell they were diligent about their jobs which I appreciated. The house reminds me of old Hawaii with geckos everywhere you look and fans blasting 24/7. This beach house is one of a kind and we feel so lucky to get to experience it, thank you for allowing us to make memories year after year. Mahalo and a hui hou!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We could not have asked for a better property. We read complaints about the pool, yet the pool was clean and ready to go as soon as we arrived. We also learned that the pool (which is the largest in the neighborhood) is in the shape of the Big Island. How cool is that! The location was amazing! A 5 minute walk to Queens Bath, which is a perfect spot for the kids to swim and snorkel. 5 Minutes by car to the downtown strip, ROSS or Target if you forget anything. This location has it all. Is it older? Yes. But the location and price completely make up for any shortcomings you may think it has. It was very clean, had plenty of towels for both the pool and beach and all the appliances we needed for some great home cooking (i.e. spam and eggs for breakfast). This home lets you enjoy paradise as a paradise. From the sunrise over the hill to the sunsets over Queens Bath, this house brings you back to simpler times. We watched dolphins jumping every morning from the lanai, the glass bottom boat and submarine made stops as well and the inter-island cruise ship honked on its way out. If you are lucky you will be able to see the green light at sunset and bio-luminescence crashing in the waves. we will be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was absolutely wonderful. The accomadations were great! Being right off the beach it was wonderful to walk out to the ocean from the back door. The pool was great also. The children wanted to play in it all day. The lanai was wonderful to eat dinners on in the evening. The neighborhood cats were sweet to look at also. An added bonus for us! The description was spot on and our expectations were not let down.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This sweet Hawaiian style home sits among other massive mansions and there was no place we would rather be. The pool and outdoor area was awesome with direct gate access to the sand and rocky walk down to an easy spot to take an ocean dip. Would be great for kids. Many reviews have read "dirty" or "falling apart" but my guess is these are people from the mainland. Welcome to the tropics! Bugs and geckos and a little dirt or salt around the edges is normal! Don't stay here for a 5 star situation, but a wonderful and comfortable home away from home with great kitchen space for larger groups and ample bathrooms. I do think the pool needs a resurfacing and there were some loose tiles around the edges, but all in all we were thrilled with our stay and will recommend to friends and family.

We had a wonderful stay here! Location was great! It’s definitely an older house that could use some updates but overall we didn’t have any issues. Be warned if you are tall the fans in the living room will hit you in the face.
